Alexander:

I looked into the eyes of my mate and I knew that I could tell her anything. I just hoped she'd understand and I know, deep in my heart, that I should tell her about my womanizing ways, but something inside me told me that that was too early to tell. It was too big of a secret about him, too big of a thing that would scare her away and right now, she was all he had.

"I ran away." I admitted to her and admitting it made me seem like such a fucking coward, it was unreal. "The story is..." I started to tell her. I started to tell her about how I never wanted to be King and that the amount of responsibilities that were put on to me were getting me down. I never felt like I had a childhood. I never felt like I had a chance to be myself, to have fun because I was always expected to act a certain way, be a certain way and it was killing me, it wasn't me. I told her how my mother would push me into being someone I'm not and when I tried to talk to her about it, she would tell me that she had to do worse and to get on with it because it was in my blood to face adversity. I was basically telling her my bask story and telling her how I wanted to just have a chance to be free, so that was why I packed up some of my stuff and came here. I told her I'd be moving on soon as this would be the first place that my parents would look.

Earlier that day:

I was sitting in my room, watching as the dawn broke over the horizon and I knew that mostly all of the castle would be asleep. My mother, like all her ancestors before her, ran the kingdom from dusk till dawn as if the night was day and the day was night. She found it difficult to be in the sunlight for too long, she was better than some because of her being the Queen and also because she had had so much of dad's blood over the years, it was starting to protect her, but me, because I was a hybrid, I could take the sun a lot longer and the night only made me feel more powerful. So sitting her, watching as the sun came up, really didn't bother me in the slightest. I had packed up the essentials that I knew I would need like a few clothes, money and jewelry I could pawn. I left my mobile here, I wouldn't need that, they could track me a whole lot easier through that. So no, that would stay here and I grabbed my iPod as my laptop was at the shack.

I put what little stuff I had decided to pack in my backpack and decided to write my mother a note, to at least try and explain what was going through my mind at this point.

Mum,

I'm sorry. That's all I can really say to try to make you not hate me. I just can't be who you want me to be, that's not me and you don't listen, you don't understand, I want a chance to live. To explore, but you keep trying to tie me down so I'm off, I'm going to find out what is out there. I'm going to become a better person through this, I can feel it and I need you not to come for me. I want to be free and being a Prince right now, with all those rule and responsibilities is really getting me down. I need you to understand this. I'm sorry if I disappoint you and you throw a fit, but I'm gone.

Goodbye mother.

Love Alexander.

I knew she would never understand completely and I knew that she'd never truly listen to me. I could just imagine her starting up the guarding, yelling at them to find her delinquent son. Hopefully by then I'll be long gone. I didn't need them coming to find me. I needed to get to the shack, have a few more hours sleep and then run off again. This would be how it was until I was settled somewhere, somewhere far away.

I grabbed my bag and walked out to the balcony before jumping off of it. I ran as fast and as far as I could before the guard switched over completely and ran over to the shack. I went in and rested on the couch for a little while.
